A/N: Finally, 100 reviews! Before round one even finished! I'm so happy. Thanks for all the support and such and such. But the fight for this chapter probably won't be very good since I haven't seen Tenchi Muyo in the longest time and hardly watch RK.

The Super Anime World Tournament
By Hayabusa Will (TheNameIsWill@AOL.Com)
Chapter Fifteen-All About the Sword
With Spike and Van both being taken away on stretched by the Chansey, the crowd was already pumped to see the next fight.
At his table, Jet lit a cigarette and took a long puff. "I told him to be careful. That lucky bastard barely pulled it off in the first place"
"Shouldn't you be with your friend?" Asked Gene from the next table. "Considering he's probably hurt right now, I think you should go over and see him"
"I'd rather not. He doesn't like visitors" Jet replied. "Besides, his pride was hurt as well as his body. He's probably too ashamed to face anyone now that he got beaten up by Van. People don't even think he deserved to come out on top"
"Whatever you say" Gene replied, going back to his drink. "So, what do you think is going to happen with this fight?"
"The bets are mostly on Kenshin for this" Jet replied. "He had most of the bets on him against Ayeka in the first place, and when she was replaced, most people flocked to change their bets to Ryoko. Either way, if Ryoko wins, the few who put money on her are gonna get a big payday"
"Didn't know that so many people were betting on this" Gene thought aloud. He smiled a little.
"Yeah, this is the first public tournament, and so a lot of people want to cash in and take their chances. Just don't disappoint your fans out there, Mr. Pretty Boy" Jet chuckled a little.
----------
The Chansey carried Spike and Van into Nurse Joy's office, laying them in the third and fourth beds. Gohan and Tenchi occupied the first two. Gohan looked like he was being forced to stay there, with the miserable look on his face. There was a rather large bandage over his stomach where Tenchi's sword had entered in the course of the fight. Tenchi was awake, but looking badly hurt. He had several bandages and seemed like he needed rest.
"Chansey!" The two pair of Chansey helped Spike and Van into their individual beds.
"Damnit...this sucks..." Spike complained.
"YOU think it sucks?!" Van yelled. He sat up and began flailing as he began a verbal assault on his opponent from the previous match. "I'm the one who rightfully should have won! There is no way you could've hit me! I was beating you around all match long! I was cheated! You cheated! YOU SUCK!"
"Calm down, Van" Nurse Joy walked over to Van and pulled his hand towards her. "Looks like the bullet came out in the ring. I'm just going to have to clean up the wound" She took a bottle of something off of the counter and put it on a cotton swab.
"That's okay, just put on a ban--AH!" He screamed as the peroxide stung his wound. "Geez, that hurts bad! I asked you to just put a Band-Aid for an...OW! Reason..."
Nurse Joy wiped Van's arm down with some water and wrapped a bandage around it. "Come on, Van, that wasn't so bad, was it?"
"Yes, it was..." Van pouted.
Nurse Joy walked to Spike. "My my Spike, you're a mess...Van, how could you do such a thing to poor Spike?"
"Hey now..." Spike said. He was quite embarrassed at being beaten up by a fourteen year-old.
"Well, I'll see if I can make you guys all better, okay?" Nurse Joy asked cheerfully.
----------
"Am I on?" Stalker asked. He realized his voice as amplified and continued. "Well, if you were tuned into the nail-biter between Spike Spiegel and Van Fleiheight, then you will absolutely...BE DISAPPOINTED because this doesn't look like it'll be quite as close" Stalker noticed several people started to leave. "Hey wait, don't leave! Not yet!" He groaned. "Anyway...the next scheduled match is between Kenshin Himura and Ryoko. The first competitor. He joined last year but was booted in the preliminaries, but not before doing some good fighting. Now he's ready to fight and win! Welcome KENSHIN HIMURA!"
Kenshin left the Fighters Den, after listening to a few people giving him encouragement. Females were heard screaming loudly for the man, as well as men who worshipped Kenshin, waving toy swords in the air. Kenshin was pleased by this, but didn't really smile or anything of the sort as he walked into the ring. He crossed to the opposite side and faced forward.
"And his opponent...some girl I don't know anything about because she just freaking joined! They didn't give any information! Uh, but she seems to hang around Tenchi. So here is...RYOKO!"
Ryoko floated out towards the ring to a rather surprising amount of applause. She smiled and floated down to face Kenshin. The two faced each other.
"Okay, let's get this show on the road! Three...two...one...GO!"
Kenshin drew his sword and stood in a pose, ready to strike. Ryoko smirked and moved back a little before lunging forward in the air. Kenshin took a swing at Ryoko, who just seemed to disappear in the air. He turned around and Ryoko came at him with a swing of her claw, knocking Kenshin back. Kenshin regained his footing and came back with a swipe of his sword. Ryoko easily dodged and came from the air with another swipe of her claw, knocking Kenshin back a second time.
Ryoko landed and smirked a little. Kenshin drew his sword and dashed forward. Ryoko prepared for a counter, but a quick slash caught Ryoko off-guard, causing her to fall to one knee. Kenshin dashed forward with a quick knee to Ryoko's side, bringing her to the ground. Kenshin held his sword to Ryoko's chest, standing still. Ryoko slowly began to back away, and suddenly disappeared. Kenshin turned around to notice Ryoko in the air, coming at him with an energy blast-claw combination that knocked him to the ground.
Ryoko quickly began to leap around the ring to try to confuse the swordsman. Kenshin quickly pulled himself to his feet and looked around him at the woman's blurs going around the ring. He suddenly lifted his blade and heaved a quick swing, and within seconds Ryoko was on the ground, nursing a wound on her right side. Kenshin leapt through the air, just as Ryoko moved, Kenshin's sword landing to make a quick cut into the ring. Ryoko continued to move away until the pain from the slash became a little more bearable, as the swordsman began to use very quick attacks against her.
Ryoko finally began to slip as she stopped. Kenshin quickly heaved a swing at her and looked downwards, believing that he had made contact with her. As he looked up though, he saw that his sword was an inch away from going into Stalker.
"Please...don't...hurt me..." Stalker quivered as he slowly began to move away from Kenshin's blade.
Kenshin was about to apologize as Ryoko drove her right hand's claws across Kenshin's back. Kenshin gave a quick yell but shook it off in a matter of seconds in order to quickly bring his weapon forward, only to see that Ryoko was gone. The space pirate was leaping across the ring quickly again, apparently hoping to be able to overcome Kenshin with her speed.
Kenshin held his blade in his hands and began to concentrate, not moving to follow Ryoko's patterns. Ryoko flew half-sideways through the air in front of Kenshin, then past him, behind him, to his right, and in that pattern. She came again, and Kenshin brought his Reverse-Blade Sword down quickly, narrowly missing Ryoko, coming close enough to leave her in shock. Kenshin quickly made a dash and made three fast swings at Ryoko, making quick contact to knock her across the ring. Kenshin took to the air and brought his blade down again, and straight downwards. Ryoko leapt away as the sword went right into the ring.
"Ryoko hasn't a chance, at this rate" The pink-haired genius Washu told Tenchi and Ryoko's cheering section in the audience. "She's hardly got any hits in and she just seems to be running"
"I say that she had it coming to her" Ayeka replied angrily with a 'Hmph'.
"Oh Ayeka, you said yourself you didn't even like the first tournament much" Sasami, Ayeka's little sister, said, trying to calm Ayeka down. "Now you don't have to be in this first one"
"That's not the point" Ayeka replied angrily. She sighed. "Oh well..."
Kenshin turned around and held his blade straight out with his right hand. "Are you quite ready to come at me with full strength?"
Ryoko turned to Kenshin. "Sure, why not, I guess I'm ready to go all out on you" Ryoko grinned, showing fang-like teeth.
With that she dashed at Kenshin quickly throughout the ring and went into the air, heaving her claws at him very quickly. Kenshin tried to move backwards away from this, sometimes bringing up his sword to block her incoming blows. However, he was getting nowhere simply on the defensive. The swordsman lifted his blade and took a swing, managing to make contact but falling into a quick slash from Ryoko as he did, and a second one coming in by the time Ryoko had stopped her attack from the blow.
With a sigh, Kenshin quickly held his blades in both hand and made a brave charge at the woman. Ryoko quickly ducked low and thrust her hand forward, narrowly missing the swordsman as he came in for another quick slash of his sword, and then a leaping kick to follow up. Kenshin held his sword in the air and took another swing at Ryoko, who saw it coming and dodged. She took control of Kenshin as she grabbed him by the neck, and threw him backwards towards the edge of the ring.
Kenshin managed to keep himself steady in the air and landed before he fell out, and began to prepare another sword attack. As Ryoko came forward, he decided to take this chance and make a swing. The attack barely missed Ryoko, who came from the air and slammed Kenshin into the ground as she did. Ryoko floated off and began preparing another blast of energy within her hands as Kenshin brushed himself off. Ryoko let loose her energy attack at Kenshin. The swordsman instinctively held up his sword to block, but it did not work and Kenshin was knocked forward. Not having actually faced an energy attack before put him at a disadvantage against these attacks. He had only seem them used by the Z-Fighters. He wasn't aware that others could use them.
Ryoko floated in front of Kenshin. "All right, Kenshin, it's time this match was put out of its misery. It's time you go down once and for all"
"But killing is illegal" The red-haired swordsman informed her.
Ryoko heaved a sigh. "Fine, I'll just beat you then"
----------
In the audience, a strange-looking blue-eyed teenager was walking to his seat. He was wearing a black shirt and jeans, along with green socks with strange sneakers. His hair was black and had a strange style. He was Android Seventeen, the brother of Android Eighteen. He looked around. "Wow, this fight is pathetic. My sister should've told me about this...oh whatever"
He began to walk up the steps, but then found himself tripping down the flight of stairs, his popcorn and soda spilling all over him. Enraged, Seventeen looked up to see who had caused him to trip. "All right, who's the wise guy?!"
At the top of the stairs was a tiny pink creature who had fallen over. He was pink and round, with nothing but a pink circle of a body and two arms, with red sneakers. "Whyuh?" Asked the creature.
Seventeen walked up the steps angrily and picked up the tiny marshmallow-like being. "I demand to know why you tripped me"
"Whyuh! Whyuh!" The marshmallow quickly gasped.
"Don't mess with Kirby!" A little kid in the audience yelled. "He's the coolest"
Seventeen's eyes passed from the kid to the little thing in his hands. "So this is Kirby? Hm, well, he better not mess with me again" Seventeen dropped Kirby and began to walk off again.
Kirby picked up Seventeen's soda and threw it back to him. Unfortunately, Seventeen had his back turned, and now had a cup and soda hit his back. The enraged android turned around to look at Kirby angrily. "Okay, that's it! You're gone!"
Kirby gasped as Seventeen flew at Kirby and smashed him across the face with a fist. Kirby went flying into a chair, that was luckily evacuated as the pink creature went through it. Seventeen flew after Kirby through the air and came with a fist that rocked a section of the audience. Kirby began to run as Seventeen went through the air after him.
"You can't run forever!" Seventeen formed an energy blast in his hand and fired it at Kirby. Kirby gasped as he was hit by the attack. He bounced off several chairs. Seventeen crossed his arms and smirked. "Well, I guess that's it, then"
Just as Seventeen began to turn, out of the destroyed seats rose Kirby. Seventeen was a bit pleased, now that he had a little more entertainment. The android flew straight at the pink puffball and began launching a volley of fists. Kirby blocked a few, however getting hit straight-on by a punch that knocked him back. Seventeen flew forward and tried to stomp the little guy, who moved out of the way. Seventeen flew a few feet into the air and let out an energy blast towards Kirby. Kirby gave a yell as the blast headed towards his open mouth. With a loud bang, about ten more seats were blown apart.
Seventeen chuckled a bit as he turned and left, now that he had deemed himself victorious. However, a high-pitched voice stopped him. Out of the rubble leapt Kirby, who was perfectly fine after being hurt so badly. And now, he now had black hair on his head, in the same hairstyle as Seventeen's. "Whyuh!"
"What in the?" Seventeen gritted his teeth angrily, believing that Kirby was mocking him. "Fine then! Take this!"
Seventeen held out his hands and shot another energy blast.
Kirby responded by holding out his own stubby hands. "Kiyu bulasta!" He yelled, shooting his own beam of energy at Seventeen's. The two collided and held each other in midair for a few minutes. The two concentrated on trying to overpower each other, neither really noticing that their fight in the audience was getting as much attention as the one in the ring.
"You can do it, Kirby!" The same little boy in the audience yelled.
Kirby smiled and turned to him happily. "Wh--" He was then hit by the oncoming blast from Seventeen and sent flying through the audience.
Seventeen went into flight and after reaching Kirby a few seconds after taking off, began to ambush the Star Warrior with several punches and kicks. Kirby hit the ground, and Seventeen came down after him with a punch. Kirby gave a cry in pain, only for Seventeen to drive his left fist into Kirby's right side, even harder. Seventeen leapt back again, and smirked before moving forward and bringing his right forward to kick him halfway through the entire stands. "AHHHHAHHHHH!" Kirby's yell was heard as he was sent flying.
Seventeen gave a sigh of relief. "I guess that's that" Ignoring several 'Boo's from the audience members who had witnessed Seventeen beating Kirby senseless, Seventeen returned to his seat.
Kirby bounced a few times in Section R of the audience (he was previously in Section F) and rose to his feet. He shook his head a bit, shaking his new black hair a bit.
Sango passed through the area, holding several snacks for the gang. Kirara, now in her much larger form, was by her side. Sango wanted it that way due to the amount of fights that had broken out in the audience, one of which just finished. Sango looked down to her pet, who seemed to be hungry for the food she was holding. "Sorry Kirara, no snacks for you. These aren't the kind you can have"
Kirara obeyed her master and turned away. She began to walk, and discovered the tiny Kirby. Convinced he was a piece of the cotton candy she had seen earlier, Kirara opened her mouth towards Kirby. Kirby gave a gasp, and the rest is history.
----------
Back in the ring, Kenshin and Ryoko were panting with exhaustion from the battle. It had taken a lot out of both of them, and it was obvious that one of them was going to give pretty quickly.
Ryoko looked at Kenshin with narrowed eyes. "Okay then, let's see how you can take THIS!"
She rushed at Kenshin through the air with a swift speed. The swordsman quickly parried and made a quick swing to deal damage to Ryoko, then brought his sword backwards to forwards with another attack. Ryoko was still standing, however, showing great determination. She panted. "Okay, so you're doing good, but I think you're going to be eating the tiles now"
Kenshin closed his eyes. "No, it shall be you who will. I left you a chance, and you took that chance, but didn't take control of it, you did not. Attack me if you think you still stand a chance"
"Oh fine, you just made your biggest MISTAKE!" Ryoko yelled as she floated through the air at Kenshin.
With a blur, Kenshin raised a fuschia-clothed arm and the sound of steel swinging echoed throughout the stadium. By the time Kenshin re-sheathed his sword, Ryoko was on the ground, not moving. Kenshin gave a sigh of relief.
"That settles it!" Stalker announced. "With an amazing swing I could barely see, it's over! The winner is KENSHIN HIMURA!"
Kenshin smiled. "A few minor wounds was all I had...she was inexperienced. Ayeka would have been more of a challenge"
----------
In the audience, Eighteen was flying around to see what had caused all of the destruction. She knew it was probably a bunch of idiots who got into an argument over some popcorn or something stupid, but as Goku and Gohan were busy with other things (like their second late lunch), she was going to check it out in case Frieza or someone was around.
She then gasped as she saw where the trail of the ruins in the audience lead. "Seven...teen? What are you doing here?"
Seventeen smirked and stood up to face her. "Hello, sister. How nice to see you again"
The two stood, facing each other, Eighteen still looking in complete shock at her brother.

In the audience, a strange-looking blue-eyed teenager was walking to his seat. He was wearing a black shirt and jeans, along with green socks with strange sneakers. His hair was black and had a strange style. He was Android Seventeen, the brother of Android Eighteen. He looked around. "Wow, this fight is pathetic.

He began to walk up the steps, but then found himself tripping down the flight of stairs, his popcorn and soda spilling all over him. Enraged, Seventeen looked up to see who had caused him to trip. "All right, who's the wise guy?!"
At the top of the stairs was a tiny pink creature who had fallen over. He was pink and round, with nothing but a pink circle of a body and two arms, with red sneakers. "Whyuh?" Asked the creature.
Seventeen walked up the steps angrily and picked up the tiny marshmallow-like being. "I demand to know why you tripped me"
"Whyuh! Whyuh!" The marshmallow quickly gasped.
"Don't mess with Kirby!" A little kid in the audience yelled. "He's the coolest"
Seventeen's eyes passed from the kid to the little thing in his hands. "So this is Kirby? Hm, well, he better not mess with me again" Seventeen dropped Kirby and began to walk off again.
Kirby picked up Seventeen's soda and threw it back to him. Unfortunately, Seventeen had his back turned, and now had a cup and soda hit his back. The enraged android turned around to look at Kirby angrily. "Okay, that's it! You're gone!"
Kirby gasped as Seventeen flew at Kirby and smashed him across the face with a fist. Kirby went flying into a chair, that was luckily evacuated as the pink creature went through it.

"What in the?" Seventeen gritted his teeth angrily, believing that Kirby was mocking him. "Fine then! Take this!"
Seventeen held out his hands and shot another energy blast.
Kirby responded by holding out his own stubby hands. "Kiyu bulasta!" He yelled, shooting his own beam of energy at Seventeen's. The two collided and held each other in midair for a few minutes. The two concentrated on trying to overpower each other, neither really noticing that their fight in the audience was getting as much attention as the one in the ring.
"You can do it, Kirby!" The same little boy in the audience yelled.
Kirby smiled and turned to him happily. "Wh--" He was then hit by the oncoming blast from Seventeen and sent flying through the audience.
Seventeen went into flight and after reaching Kirby a few seconds after taking off, began to ambush the Star Warrior with several punches and kicks. Kirby hit the ground, and Seventeen came down after him with a punch. Kirby gave a cry in pain, only for Seventeen to drive his left fist into Kirby's right side, even harder. Seventeen leapt back again, and smirked before moving forward and bringing his right forward to kick him halfway through the entire stands. "AHHHHAHHHHH!" Kirby's yell was heard as he was sent flying.
Seventeen gave a sigh of relief. "I guess that's that" Ignoring several 'Boo's from the audience members who had witnessed Seventeen beating Kirby senseless, Seventeen returned to his seat.
Kirby bounced a few times in Section R of the audience (he was previously in Section F) and rose to his feet. He shook his head a bit, shaking his new black hair a bit.
Sango passed through the area, holding several snacks for the gang. Kirara, now in her much larger form, was by her side. Sango wanted it that way due to the amount of fights that had broken out in the audience, one of which just finished. Sango looked down to her pet, who seemed to be hungry for the food she was holding. "Sorry Kirara, no snacks for you. These aren't the kind you can have"
Kirara obeyed her master and turned away. She began to walk, and discovered the tiny Kirby. Convinced he was a piece of the cotton candy she had seen earlier, Kirara opened her mouth towards Kirby. Kirby gave a gasp, and the rest is history.

Back in the ring, Kenshin and Ryoko were panting with exhaustion from the battle. It had taken a lot out of both of them, and it was obvious that one of them was going to give pretty quickly.
Ryoko looked at Kenshin with narrowed eyes. "Okay then, let's see how you can take THIS!"
She rushed at Kenshin through the air with a swift speed. The swordsman quickly parried and made a quick swing to deal damage to Ryoko, then brought his sword backwards to forwards with another attack. Ryoko was still standing, however, showing great determination. She panted. "Okay, so you're doing good, but I think you're going to be eating the tiles now"
Kenshin closed his eyes. "No, it shall be you who will. I left you a chance, and you took that chance, but didn't take control of it, you did not. Attack me if you think you still stand a chance"
"Oh fine, you just made your biggest MISTAKE!" Ryoko yelled as she floated through the air at Kenshin.
With a blur, Kenshin raised a fuschia-clothed arm and the sound of steel swinging echoed throughout the stadium. By the time Kenshin re-sheathed his sword, Ryoko was on the ground, not moving. Kenshin gave a sigh of relief.
"That settles it!" Stalker announced. "With an amazing swing I could barely see, it's over! The winner is KENSHIN HIMURA!"
Kenshin smiled. "A few minor wounds was all I had...she was inexperienced. Ayeka would have been more of a challenge"

In the audience, Eighteen was flying around to see what had caused all of the destruction. She knew it was probably a bunch of idiots who got into an argument over some popcorn or something stupid, but as Goku and Gohan were busy with other things (like their second late lunch), she was going to check it out in case Frieza or someone was around.
She then gasped as she saw where the trail of the ruins in the audience lead. "Seven...teen? What are you doing here?"
Seventeen smirked and stood up to face her. "Hello, sister. How nice to see you again"
The two stood, facing each other, Eighteen still looking in complete shock at her brother.
